WILLIAMS, Calif. (AP) - State fire officials are planning to bring in more resources to battle a pair of wildfires in Northern California that doubled in size overnight and is threatening nearly two dozen residences.

The fires in Colusa County - referred to as the Sixteen Complex - had grown to more than 11 square miles as of Thursday morning. They were fueled by strong winds from a thunderstorm system that also pummeled the region with lightning strikes.
